Ok. So my title could use a little work. But think about this recent incident and the use of a bomb to take out an active threat. I don't have a problem with the idea of an officer killing the bad person with a button rather than a trigger. It wasn't automated, and it didn't risk anyone's life.
But we have the ability to put a gun on the same type of robot. Would it be any different? Maybe in perception, and if you wanted to reduce media attention you just write the report as "officer x shot the suspect" because...well he did. And all that thinking got me to my idea:
How feasible would it be to taser the guy with a taser strapped to a robot?
